Bathroom Doors - Chapter 2

The rest of the last week before the summer holidays was absolute hell.

***FLASHBACK***

"Oh my god that's her. Can you believe she cheated on Blake like that?" People were talking about the same thing the second I walked into school that day.

I hadn't talked to Blake since yesterday. I texted him so many times and tried to call him, but he never answered me. I even texted some of the people who I thought were my real friends, but most of them didn't reply. And if they did reply then it would be to tell me stop talking to them.

Everyone believed this lie. The lie that some one made up just to hurt me.

"Slut." "Whore." "Tramp." "Hooker." All these words flew at me as I walked down the long corridor.

I couldn't take it anymore. I took a sharp turn and walked into the nearest girl's bathrooms. As far as I could see, there was no one in here with me. I turned and locked the door so I could be alone in this hell.

My tears fell freely, releasing all the pent up emotion. I walked over to the mirror only to see the words "SUMMER IS A WHORE" written in lipstick.

I went into one of the cubicles to get away from the writing, but I wish I hadn't. Written on the back of the door was some of the most horrible things I had ever read about me before.

-Summer slept with Mike, Lee AND Taylor all at once. Mike told me about it.-
-Summer tried to steal my boyfriend from me once-
-Summer is secretely a prostitute-
-Summer has an STD-
-Summer is a SLUT-
-Summer slept with Mr Gallow so he would give her an A-

I started crying harder and closed my eyes. Why would people write these things about me? It was so hurtful and none of it was even remotely true. I was 100% a virgin. Infact, the only person I had ever even kissed was Blake.

I had to know who started these rumours. I had never done anything mean to anyone in my whole life, so who would do something like this to me?

I wiped my eyes but I didn't care if people saw me crying. That would be the least of my problems. I left that horrible bathroom quickly and went out into the hall. I knew exactly where I was going. I was going to the place Blake was every morning before class.

When I saw him I walked up to him quickly so he didn't have any time to avoid me.

"I didn't sleep with anyone." I said to him with as much force as my voice could muster up. He had to believe me, he just had to.

"Oh really? Because other people seem to think differently. Lee and Taylor both came up to me today and said you did stuff with them too. So just get away from me." He said and turned away.

"It's not true Blake, none of it is true. You have to believe me, I'm your girlfriend. Don't you trust me?" I asked. The tears were forming in my eyes again.

"No. You WERE my girlfriend. Now you're just some tramp who I want nothing to do with." He said.

I shook my head and turned him to face me.

"Who told you?" I asked him.

He didn't say anything.

"I will leave you alone if you just tell me." I pleaded with him.

"Fine, if that's what it takes to make you leave. It was that Lacey girl." He said.

Lacey? So that's why she was there yesterday. I turned away from him so I could find Lacey. Of course she wasn't very far away. I walked over to her promptly.

"What the hell Lacey? Why did you start that rumour?" I asked her.

"What rumour?" She asked, playing dumb.

"You know what I'm talking about. The thing about me and Mike." I said.

"Oh Mike, my brother? Yeah...he'll do anything I ask him to. We're such great siblings." She said.

"Why would you do this to me?" I asked her.

"Nothing personal. I just want Blake all to myself." She admitted to me. Luckily for her there was no one close enough to hear us.

"Well he won't want anything to do with you once I tell him you lied." I said and turned away from her so I could walk back to Blake.

Suddenly she burst into tears. What the?

A couple of people, including blake walked past me and straight to her. I turned around to see her crying into Blakes shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Someone asked her.

"S-summer...She...She told me if I told everyone about the other things she did then she would completely ruin my life." Lacey said and burst into another wave of fake tears.

"You've gotta be kidding me. She's lying." I defended myself.

"Shut up Summer. What other things are you talking about, Lacey?" Blake asked.

"I-I can't say." She said in that sickly sweet innocent voice.

"Tell me, please? I won't let her do anything to you" Blake asked in the soothing voice that he only used to speak to me. I rolled my eyes at the last thing he said.

"O-ok. Well...She used to come over to my place a lot because Mike's my brother. She's been seeing him for months now. She's also been with his friends from other schools too. They told me not to tell anyone, but I just couldn't let her keep lying to you Blake." Lacey said with tears streaming down her eyes.

The next thing I know everyone's eyes are on me.

"Oh come on guys. She's a liar!" I said to them all.

"Just go away." Blake said to me.

"None of it's true, Blake. You have to believe me." I said.

When he didn't even look at me, I knew that it was completely over between the two of us. Even if he would find out the truth, I still wouldn't take him back. Obviously he just doesn't love me enough to trust me.

***END FLASHBACK***

Over the rest of that week a few more guys came out and said I slept with them. Of course everyone had believed them and no one believed me when I defended myself. Then eventually after school and for a couple of weeks on the school holidays, I just gave up and stopped defending myself. No one would listen to me. I realized then that I never had any true friends. The had all betrayed me.
